The Resurrection Chapel, the latest addition to our facilities makes St. Joseph’s Church truly a home in every sense of the word. Here, we center and nourish our lives through worship and the celebration of the sacraments. It is also here that we celebrate the lives of the saints of our church as they proceed to their heavenly home through the prayers and remembrances of friends and the parish family.

The Resurrection Chapel is a beautiful place of peace not only for those who come to remember departed loved ones, but also for those who desire a place of reflection and prayer. It is a consecrated resting place for the inurnment of cremated remains, and an answer to the much needed location to gather for the final funeral rites.

Columbarium

A columbarium is a vault with niches for urns containing the ashes of the dead. It is typically within a stone wall. Columba is the Latin word for a dove. A columbarium is a structure for the nesting of doves. The dove is the symbol of God’s Spirit and peace.

Each niche is 8x8x16 inches and can accommodate one or two urns. The cost per niche is $1,750. PreNeed/Pre-Paid discount plan $1,500. This cost includes an urn provided by the Church, placement of the urn within an engraved niche, and the perpetual care of the Resurrection Chapel. All columbarium niche inscriptions will be uniform and will include: Name, year of birth, and year of death. Cremation arrangements and the transfer of ashes to the urn are the responsibility of the family. Only a priest or a deacon is authorized to officiate at an inurnment service. Only an urn shall be placed in the niche.
